Seattle tops the list of most walkable US cities according to the Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center. Walkfriendly.org has the run-down ( http://www.walkfriendly.org/communities/community.cfm?ID=53) with lots of interesting facts about municipal efforts to cater to walkers (parking management, pedestrian auditing, and over 1000 traffic circles). Other big cities making the list were Austin, TX, and Charlotte, NC.
including dedicated funding for pedestrian infrastructure. But we’re making headway. Also liked how they called out the Pedestrian Master Plan, which is an incredible piece of work.
I disagree. ANY city in the East Coast is more walkable than Seattle.
